01x12 - Boruto and Mitsuki

[bunniefuu]

You're right.

As expected, it was the heirloom left
by the Foundation,

Gozu Tennou…

Who's using it?

Well…

Huh?

All right.

Understood.

Later.

I'm…

"Boruto and Mitsuki"

Hey!

– All right!
– All right!

Next!

Next!

Doing good, Denki!

I'm not gonna let myself
be unskilled forever.

Did you restructure your body?

There's no way I could do that!

All right, let's finish this!

Right.

Are you okay?

Denki!

I'm okay.

But it's gonna be impossible for me.

You two go on and finish.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Don't give up!

I'll help you.

Okay!

– Go!
– Go!

Thanks, Mitsuki and Boruto!

We can't have you drop out
after coming this far.

Shucks!

– Oh man.
– I thought I had it!

Are you okay?

That was too bad.

You can team up with us next time!

You'll never pass with Denki.

That's not true.

You just don't know about
Denki's amazing side.

Quiet, everyone!

For this practice assignment…

Everyone fails!

Huh?!

I finished within the time limit!

If all three don't finish, you fail.

– What?
– What?

– No way!
– Fail?!

The reason is because
genin work in threes.

In other words,

they fundamentally take action
within three-man teams.

For success in a mission,
teamwork is essential!

Turning your back on a comrade
is out of the question.

When you graduate,
you will fall under our command!

We'll come by occasionally
to observe you

for the purpose of forming teams.

Well, don't brood over it.

For now,
just try different formations.

That's all for today's practice.

– Thank you very much!
– Thank you very much!

There have been no Ghost Incidents
since then, huh?

Yeah.

We must've really scared 'em away.

We were close though.

We almost caught the culprit.

Well, that can't be helped.

I doubt they'll make
any more careless moves.

Yeah, even if Boruto can see the ghost,

we don't know who's behind it.

Anyway, he knew we were
searching for him,

and he still caused an incident.

So, this means the enemy
is desperate too.

The grown-ups are starting to act too.

Maybe we shouldn't search too hard?

We've come too far to quit now.

I won't let 'em treat us like kids.

Never mind that. We've gotta hurry!

Otherwise, the fried noodle buns
will all sell out!

Hey, wait! Boruto!

Let me come with you!

Damn it. Boruto always messes me up.

That practice earlier…

Huh?

I understand what Sensei said,

but for the success of the mission,

it would have been normal if
I went ahead and advanced, right?

Sure…

But that would mean you abandoned
your teammates.

Hey, would you happen to know
why I did what I did?

Huh?

I dunno.

Maybe he got to you too.

That guy is such a drag.

This year's students
look quite promising…

They're beginning to show maturity
that exceeds our expectations.

At this rate,
they'll become fine shinobi.

Did any student pique your interest?

Let's see…

Iwabe Yuino seems like
he's coming out of his shell.

And probably…

Boruto Uzumaki.

Well, he is the pride of
the Lord Seventh!

Why are you bragging?

Who cares?

Lord Seventh placed the responsibility
to watch over Boruto—!

Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

When you start talking about
Lord Seventh, Konohamaru,

time drags.

Boruto Uzumaki…

Without a doubt,
he's become the nucleus of the class.

At the same time,
he's the nucleus of trouble!

ARITHMETIC

Huh?

What's the matter, Iwabe?

Oh, it's you, Boruto.

I'm busy! Don't bother me!

He probably has to stay
after school again.

Shut up!

What part don't you get?

Damn it!

This one, right here!

For stuff like this,
separate them by objects first.

See…

Then drop them into the formula.

Oh…

Hold on.

Do it again.

If you insist…

Hey.

What is it?

I've heard that you've been feeling
out of place in class.

Are you picking a fight?

But right now, you seem
to be enjoying yourself.

Huh?

Is it because of Boruto?

I-I don't know!

See ya!

Hold on!

Okay.

Seems like you're paying
a lot of attention to Boruto lately.

Boruto always seems to
be having fun, huh?

Why does everyone gravitate
towards Boruto?

It's because he's an idiot.

Boruto could care less
about what others think.

He makes up his own mind
about everything.

He got sick and tired of being judged

just because he was
the son of the Hokage.

That's why he tries extra hard
to see things through his own eyes,

and as a result, he ends up making
an incident even worse.

He causes unnecessary trouble.
That's why he's a big idiot.

But that's the reason why
everyone gravitates toward him.

Being accepted without
any prejudice is a great thing, right?

Oh, but having a guy like
that around can be a pain.

Especially for people like the Class Rep…

She must be feeling the most stress.

Maybe I'm overthinking this.

The Class Rep…

You seem to be doing much better.

Mitsuki?

You came alone?

Are your injuries okay?

Yes…

They said I'll be discharged soon.

I see. That's good.

We can't have you dying on us.

Huh?

I have circumstances too…

Hey, can I ask you one thing?

How do you feel about Boruto?

What do you mean?

Inojin said you probably
feel the most stress.

That's not true!

Sure, there's trouble in class
and I'm always panicking.

But it's kinda of fun with
Boruto around, right?

What about you, Mitsuki?

Me?

I don't really know yet.

Do you have family, Mitsuki?

As far as I know…

I see.

I'd thought all along
that you were like me.

You don't have family?

No…

They all d*ed.

My father was a ninja too.

But I'm not skilled like
my father was…

That's why I was always unsure
and straining so hard to make it.

But being in this class
with everyone…

Before I knew it,
it's become so much fun.

Sometimes I wonder what
was I doing all this time…

Hey…

How do you feel about
the person who did that to you?

I don't know.

But I want this to be over quickly…

That's how I feel.

SHINOBI
SAFETY FIRST

How long do we have
to keep this up?

Who knows?

Hurry!

Hey, Boruto…

Huh? What's up, Mitsuki?

I'm home!

Welcome back.

Thanks for having me over.

Welcome! You're Mitsuki, right?

Hello!

Hi, Himawari!

Wow!

Big Brother actually
brought home a friend!

What?

It's not that unusual, is it?

What a feast!

You said you were bringing
a friend, so I went all out.

It's embarrassing,
don't go overboard, okay, Mom?

Just do what you usually do!

Mitsuki, please wait
a little bit longer, okay?

And Boruto…

Dad's also coming home early
for a change.

Dad is?!

Yup, Daddy's joining us too.

What? So, Dad's coming home?

Oh well, can't be helped.

You don't want him around, Boruto?

It's not that.

Anyway, let me show you
my room! Let's go!

Think of this as your own home
and relax, okay?

You can sit anywhere you like.

Your dad's the Seventh Hokage, right?

Yeah…

I've never
actually talked to him.

Fine then…

I'll introduce you later.

Naruto Uzumaki, the Seventh Hokage.

The hero who brought
the Great Ninja Wars to a close,

who possesses immense chakra and
has a command of overwhelming jutsu,

whose skill makes him possibly
the strongest out of all of the Five Kage.

That's what I've heard.

Lord Hokage is amazing.

You can omit the "Lord."

I don't know about everyone else,
but at our house,

he's just our good-for-nothing dad.

He makes Mom do everything,
can't do a thing around the house,

eats only ramen and he constantly nags…

He's my stupid old man.

Hey.

Do you like Lord Hokage?

Or do you hate him?

Huh?

Well…

Hey you two, dinner's ready!

Let's go.

All I see you eating are hamburgers
or fried noodle buns,

I figured you never ate
a decent meal at home.

Quit bringing up stuff like that!

Okay, Mitsuki, eat lots!

I'm home.

Oh, it's Daddy!

Welcome home.

I'm home…

Here's a present.
Char siu roast pork from Ichiraku.

Thank you.

You know what?

I helped Mommy prepare
dinner tonight.

Oh, that's terrific!

Tsk, late as always!

Oh, you're…

I'm Mitsuki from the Hidden Sound.

Yeah, I've heard about you.

I'm Naruto Uzumaki.

Yes, I've heard lots of stories about you
from my parent, Lord Hokage.

It's been so long since Boruto
brought a friend over, I'm so happy!

Be good to Boruto, will you?

I will.

'The heck are you saying?

I'm the one who's good to him!

I got it, I got it!

Quit treating me like a kid!

I've only been eating
cup noodles lately.

It's been a while since
I had your home-cooking, Hinata.

– I see...
– You know what?

– He's your dad, after all.
– I made this and this!

– Don't lump me in with him.
– Really? They look good.

– Thank you for the food!
– Thank you for the food!

Let's dig in, ya know!

Dad?

A strange chakra?

Yeah, it's spreading across the village.

We got a report from the Barrier Team!

It's similar to the one
that's been detected

in the series of rampage incidents.

Sai's already on the move.

Understood!

I'll notify you if anything develops.

This is the first time in a long time
you were able to go home early.

Take it easy at home today.

No, I'm coming back right now.

Dear…

Sorry, Hinata. I have to go.

Not again?!

There's been an incident.

It's always like this!

Why do you have
to be the one to go?!

Boruto…

If someone's in need in the village,
the Hokage must go.

This entire village is my family.

You understand that, don't you?

No, I don't!

Boruto…!

Boruto!

I'll go.

Huh?

Mitsuki…

I leave it to you.

Yes.

Naruto…

Mitsuki, huh…

The Hokage…is way busier
than I thought.

Hey.

Before, he was always there
for me and Himawari.

But since he became
the Hokage, it's all about work.

It's always because
he's the Hokage.

He never comes home
because he's the Hokage!

He's never there for us
because he's the Hokage!

The Hokage, Hokage, Hokage…

Who the hell is the Hokage?!

I hate the Hokage, ya know?!

Really?

Because all I see in you,
is your love for the Hokage.

No way!

The Hokage is someone
who sacrifices those closest to him

for the sake of the village.

I don't need someone like that!

That's why I‘ll never abandon
those close to me!

I'm gonna do what Dad couldn't,
and make him realize!

He's going to do what you couldn't?

I have high hopes for him.

I'm going to do what
my parent couldn't do…

I see…

So it's the same for you too.

Hey, Boruto…

I came here tonight to
tell you something.

What's this, all of a sudden?

I've been wondering
if I should tell you or not,

but it seems like I should.

Huh?

I know who's behind
the Ghost Incident.

That's totally not funny, Mitsuki.

But it's the truth.

They've had contact with the victims.

Are you saying that's when
they implant The Ghost?

If you don't want to believe me,
do as you please.

Though, I think it's too late for that.

What is that?!

Next time on Boruto
Naruto Next Generations:

The Demon Beast Appears!

Looks like it's begun.

THE DEMON BEAST APPEARS!
